Thanks Doug, I appreciate the feedback and support!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks my man!!!

I just bought a 9.9 Mercury outboard boat motor for my V14 Alumacraft. I always go out fully loaded as well. Looking forward to going out fishing.

Oh I got that monster can that was floating, prolly still in my boat!! 🤪

That motor is gone now, time to tweak on my 25hp👍🏼

@@DudeLetsFish Get the rpm on your new motor to where it needs to be and you will always be happier! Always prop on the high side (higher RPM) as boats only ever get heavier 💯👍🏼👌🏼🇦🇺

My 14 ft deep v all welded is heavy with a 25 hp but like a 10 pitch best will soon have a 4 blade 10 pitch

Whaaaa? Fo real?

Exactly and thank you 🙏

I know I can get it up to a 15hp

Alumacraft 16x48 thanks!

I’ve done the same, trolling motor, 2 garmin units, livescope, radio, led lights etc.

Awesome!! Let us know!

The humminbird actually wasn’t mine, and it was an older unit. I moved the garmin to the back and will eventually network them, livescope up front full time.

@@DudeLetsFish I had to pause again. Will finish it later tonight. But you still ain't right. 🤣

Haha thanks man!!

I don’t, where did you get your tach and prop?

@@DudeLetsFish Amazon. Engine runs best at 5000-6000 rpm, closer to 6000 is better. The added weight lowered your rpms, going to a prop with less pitch like the 8.9x7.5 will bring your performance back up.

OF? “Catch you on the Flip Flop?

I need to, It’s the stock prop

@@DudeLetsFish buy the Sierra mini tach/hour meter. It's no frills but it has a (no questions asked) lifetime warranty as long as you keep the receipt. I just got my 2nd one in the mail when the 1st one broke 2 years later.

Yes

Makes sense

@@DudeLetsFish i don,t want to argue but nothing could be further from the truth, i know i did it both ways. The other day i watched a boat moving down the river, 3 people all in the back of the boat which i thought was strange. The front of the boat was up in the air and not moving very fast and i could hear that the motor was at full throttle. The middle of the boat was pushing the water in front of it and the rear of the boat dragging in the water, both creating great resistance reducing speed and fuel milage greatly. The bottom of the boat pushing the water is creating a greater amount of drag compared to it being completely level with the water and in the water gliding over it with very very little resistance. Always distribute the weight in the boat side to side and front to back so that when on full plane the boat will be completely level. Equals best speed and best gas milage.

😮

Yeah, not worth it to gain 1mph

@@DudeLetsFish throw a 2 hunnit merc on her you wont 😂

@@noahdboss1195 that a dare?? 😶

@@DudeLetsFish 🥴 triple dog dare

Oh ya, maybe put some 9.9 stickers on it... 🤔

@@DudeLetsFish that might would work unless they checked the serial numbers 🤫

@@DudeLetsFish 15hp is the same size and weight as a 9.9 fyi

I’m ordering one

Yes!! It’s Science!!! 🤓

Yes it was a free app, forgot what it was called

I use "Speedo-meter" and it's free.

Oh hell yeah

I might have something new coming up… stay tuned

Oh ya, now if I would have gained 5mph I would think about the lithium’s but 1mph... Na

@@DudeLetsFish I probably wouldn't even for 5 mph but that's me

@@DudeLetsFish when I get on these Alabama 2 pound slabs I'd send you some pictures some how

Exactly!!!!!

😅👍🏼

Haha, I’ve heard that before
